I for one would insist on complete situational awareness at all times. The alternative is being LOST. That can be bad for one's health. The last time I was willingly lost was when Betty and I were returning from the Palace Real in Madrid and we decided to just start walking to the east. Then

And some of them have considerably higher EIRP, Like THIS one, As you can see they are not sophisticated devices they are intended to swamp the real GPS signal, Spoofers would be much harder to detect which is why GNSS systems intended for military use rely on encrypted signals and fairly

Hi But there's obviously something wrong with the 400 KM number. 1) If +10 dbm is good enough to burry a useful signal at that distance, it should be good enough to communicate at that distance. That's pretty impressive QRP without high gain / directional antennas involved. 2) The radios (at

It does no good to prohibit clients from using GPS on land because unless you keep them blindfolded the entire time they will see and photograph their surroundings. People with some training can find location to within about 25 feet with no GPS even in a flat dessert. I've hiked out to find a
